Some quick searches on internet: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Culvert_2_%28PSF%29.png http://www.rommesmo.com/steeltruss.htm or tunnels: http://www.battlefieldsww2.50megs.com/culvert.htm You always claim the "culver=yes" has been used by 70 people. But we also have hundreds of dozen "tunnel=yes" on waterways which are probably culverts. My proposal is to change the wiki to tunnel=culvert (then forget the bridge/ford). At least, this would make live easier for data consumers which do not really care about the difference between tunnel=yes and culvert=yes or pipe=yes or sewer=yes but could deal with tunnel=* (if we recommand tunnel=yes/culvert/pipe/sewer) Pieren
